"You said a kitten died?"
Hearing Bai Lu's words, Hu Jingkun was stunned like a bolt from the blue.
"Well, here's the thing..."
Bai Lu, with red eyes, sniffed and told the Lord what happened today...
The pollution caused by the black rain was not as exaggerated as imagined. In just the past few hours, as the rainwater seeped into the ground, the surface became safe again.
The schools of fish that had taken shelter from the rain in the forest also crawled back into the lake in large numbers.
The high concentration of black rain is dangerous, but the lake water is enough to dilute it. The real source of forcing the fish to come ashore is the flesh-and-blood monster infected by the black rain.
They move so fast in the water that no amount of fish is enough for them to eat, so they have to climb ashore and take refuge in the forest.
However, not all fish successfully returned to the lake.
Many fish, injured and suffocated by lack of water, died in the forest.
The carcasses of these fish attracted a large number of carnivorous monsters, greatly increasing the danger in the forest.
…
After the crisis of black rain contaminating the land was resolved, the big and small cats in Civet Village began their busy work again.
They were divided into three teams of kittens, two of which continued fishing and logging, while the last team, under the command of Liuli, reclaimed the land and tried to plant the crops given by the gods.
The casualties were among the logging teams.
Probably because they have been too comfortable recently, the kittens in the logging team were a little careless. They were fighting and fussing away from the guarding cat lady. As a result, they were attacked by several monsters at the same time.
Several kittens were injured, and the most serious one lost his life.
This incident was observed by Bai Lu, so he quickly notified the gods, and then there was a scene where Hu Jingkun hurried back to the rental house.
…
"Well, I probably understand it clearly..."
Hu Jingkun sighed, stepped forward and took the depressed Bai Lu into his arms.
Bai Lu was still holding on, but when Hu Jingkun hugged her, she felt like she had found her backbone, burying her head in his arms and crying.
Hu Jingkun expressed his understanding of this.
He gently stroked Bai Lu's back to comfort the sad little cat girl.
Various tragedies are happening in the world every moment, but only when they happen around us do people realize how fragile life is.
There are a total of 49 cats in Civet Village, and all of them are sisters, mother and daughter.
No matter which kitten is lost, the remaining cats will feel the pain and feel the grief.
…
As for comfort, we should also pay attention to the situation in Civet Village.
Hu Jingkun tried his best to pick up Bai Lu, who was crying with tears in his eyes, and sat on the computer chair. He held Bai Lu with one hand and controlled the mouse and keyboard with the other.
At this time, all the cats in Civet Cat Village have put down their work.
They gathered in the center of the village and formed a circle in silence. In the center was the body of the kitten killed by the monster in the dark forest.
Isis was the saddest one.
She was half-kneeling next to the kitten's body, her face full of pain.
All the kittens in the village were her direct descendants, and the killed kitten was a second-generation civet born from her cat tail, and was one of her daughters.
The silent atmosphere didn't last long. A kitten suddenly picked up the logging tool in his hand and tapped it lightly on the wooden shelf next to him.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
The wood was knocked and made a dull sound.
The sound woke up the surrounding kittens.
They glanced left and right and took action.
The kitten, who has tools at hand, then uses the tools to hit wood and stones to make sounds.
Kittens without tools would grab their whiskers and play with their paws, making melodious sounds.
These sounds gradually harmonized and merged into a sad piece of music for the funeral of the dead kitten.
They also sang songs to the simple but emotional accompaniment.
[The light of the past is annihilated, forming eternal darkness]
[The stars in the sky gather in rows, and the cats embark on a road full of wounded flowers]
【Cats can only move forward】
【After many evil eyes】
【Through the icy eternal night】
[The moment before the tears dry up]
[Arrived in an unknown new world]
…
Civets like to express their various emotions through music.
Surviving the Kuroshio, receiving protection from the gods, building a temple... Whenever they feel excited, they will celebrate by singing.
Now that their companions have left, they do the same, conveying their longing for their tribesmen and their resistance to this cruel world through music.
The sad song was repeated round after round until the half-kneeling Isis stood up.
She looked back with red eyes, glanced at the depressed big kitten, and said with a solemn expression:
"This is all the cat's fault. The cat swears here to kill all the monsters in the Black Forest, leaving no one behind!"
Under the gaze of many kittens, Isis walked into the temple and knelt down respectfully to pray.
[The cat god above, please protect the civet family, Isis will fight for you until the eternal end...]
After the prayer, she stood up, took off the divine torch given by Hu Jingkun, and turned to look at Liuli.
[Liu Li, from now on you will be the clan leader and lead everyone to live a good life. 】
【……】
Liuli nodded silently, with the same sad expression on his face.
She was not happy because she became the leader of the clan. In other words, there was no class in the entire civet clan.
Adult catgirls have leadership rights, but they serve more as mothers and sisters than as superiors and subordinates.
After making arrangements for the funeral, Isis straightened her body and walked resolutely towards the black forest under the gaze of many kittens.
"Bai Lu, what does your mother want to do?"
Hu Jingkun frowned, looking at Isis's windy and cold back, a bad feeling arose in his heart.
The little cat girl who was sitting on his lap raised her head with tears in her eyes, biting her lips and explaining in a low voice.
"Mother wants to exile herself."
"exile?"
"Well, it's just like the oath she swore. If the oath is not completed in one day, she will never come back..."
"What a mess!"
Hu Jingkun sighed, moved the mouse and clicked on Isis.
Recently he discovered new features for the game.
As long as the believer clicked by the mouse, he will notice the gaze of the god and be inspired.
In this way, Hu Jingkun saved a kitten that was almost hit by a falling tree trunk.
But today this trick didn't work.
Isis, who was clicked, paused slightly, but she did not stop and continued to move forward firmly.
In desperation, Hu Jingkun had no choice but to get through Liuli's voice call and give her orders.
"Liu Li, call Isis back."
"Lord God, my mother will never look back now. Her mind has been made up..."
"Call her back first and say I can resurrect the dead kitten..."
"ah?"
Extremely shocked, Liuli raised her head blankly and looked at Hu Jingkun across the screen.
After a moment, she came to, with an ecstatic smile on her face.
She didn't care about maintaining the appearance of the agent, and rushed out in one stride, grabbing Isis who was about to enter the black forest.
As the civet with the highest attributes, Isis flicked her backhand and easily broke away from Liuli's hand.
But Liuli didn't give up. She rushed forward again, hugged Isis tightly in her arms, and murmured the reason.
Isis fell to her knees softly after hearing that the Cat God could resurrect dead kittens.
Isis, who had always shown a strong demeanor, could no longer maintain her emotions this time, and tears kept flowing out.
She clasped her fingers together and prayed devoutly to the sky, fearing that the gods would no longer want to save the dead kitten because of her disrespectful attitude.
"This is the right thing to do. It's so bad to be exiled for no reason..."
Hu Jingkun breathed a sigh of relief after successfully retaining the strongest fighting force at hand.
He was already blaming himself for not being able to save the brave cat lady from the dark tide last time. He couldn't let Isis send it off again this time.
After relaxing, his eyes fell on the dead kitten.
The next thing to do is very simple, that is to find a way to bring the dead kitten back to life...
